Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 449 Windfall Income
Ah Hao pushed open the door, and saw the butler Hodge, who was wearing a decent suit, waiting for him outside the door.

Hodge bowed slightly: "As soon as I heard Bell say you're back, I hurried up."

"Long time no see." Ah Hao smiled and pulled his hand and shook it, "Let's go to the study next door to chat."

When Hodge was sitting in the guest seat in the study, he also had a bright smile on his face: "Mr. Hao, a lot of things have happened during your absence."

"I've met Wende, and he told me something." Ahao nodded, "I know everything about the cooperation with the Municipal Council and the Dawn Sect."

"By the way, I want to strengthen the depth of cooperation with the Dawn Sect. Thank you for assisting Wende in this regard."

"Understood, Shuguangjiao is indeed a very good partner. He has money, does not ask for discounts, and pays the bill very quickly." Hodge nodded, but the smile on the corner of his mouth has not dissipated. "I also have some good news to inform you. Don't worry, this is news that even Master Wende doesn't know about."

"Oolong, do you remember?"

This name with some exotic accents immediately awakened Ahao's memory: "From the Europa region, the Oolong of the Oulong family? He came to you?"

"That's right, he couldn't find you, so he went to the store manager Candy, who came to me again. I was talking to him just now, about the money." Hodge took out the bag from behind in a good mood. Out came a dozen thick sheets of paper.

"He has abided by the oral agreement you signed with him before. Ten percent of the sales of Oulong family's [Coco Angel] products last year will be shared with us as special patent fees."

The corner of Ah Hao's mouth also curled up into a smile: "This kid is quite trustworthy. Has he left? If he hadn't left, I would have liked to see him."

"Should still be in Agadhi, I'll look for him later. But for now, let's look at the bill first. God, it's a lot of money."

Huo Qi couldn't wait to turn over the large stack of papers, and after turning to a specific page, he turned it over and showed it to Ahao.

"You see, the sales volume of the Oulong family last year was 5000 million Obi, which is almost equivalent to 5500 million Canadian dollars. And the product [Coco Angel] alone sold 2200 million Canadian dollars. That is to say, In a few days, there will be a cross-border remittance of 220 million Canadian dollars, which will be directly transferred to your account."

"220 million Canadian dollars, not bad. You can buy 10 small cars." Ahao patted the armrest of the chair and turned around in a circle.

"The Oulong family can earn so much money in a year. What was our turnover last year?" Ahao looked at Hodge curiously.

He didn't participate in the year-end settlement period some time ago, but ran back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Naturally, he didn't know much about these data.

Huo Qi quickly opened a small book with a pen hanging from his waist: "Our AH perfume, last year's turnover was 4000 million."

"Tsk, it's even less than them."

Hodge showed a helpless smile: "Your perfume has been officially released since the middle of the year, and this number is half a year. In the coming year, you will definitely surpass them completely."

"And the Oulong family is a long-established perfume family in Europa. Their number of perfume stores is many times that of ours. With these few stores, we can achieve such an amazing sales volume, even in Agadi is a miracle."

"That's right, let's keep working hard." Ahao nodded, "By the way, let's give everyone a salary increase in the New Year. Just treat it as a celebration of our good performance. Then we will give more special allowances to employees. During this time, Agadi's You also know the situation, so they can rent a better house in the upper city."

"clear."

"You, Bell, and Bev's salaries have to go up too. Allowances are also received." Ahao smiled and glanced at Hodge, "Don't forget yourself."

The wrinkle with a smile on Hodge's face was fleeting: "The matter of housing is indeed a big problem. I have a better proposal, that is, the company will make a unified arrangement and find a house as a dormitory for employees. For our perfume shop staff."

"Agadi has very few rental housing resources, but there are still quite a lot of vacant houses. Because many rich people have temporarily left Agadi, and with a lot of wealth, they went to places like Armenia for vacation and retirement. gone."

Ah Hao nodded straightforwardly: "Just do as you said, and arrange a staff dormitory, it's pretty good."

"Okay, there is another piece of good news related to the company's assets." Hodge turned back a few pages in the small book in his hand, "Although our turnover made a lot of money, the company actually made money last year. More. It's just that you can't tell from the report."

"Ah?" Ahao looked at Hodge in a daze, "What is it?"

"Property."

Hodge's eyes flashed brightly: "Several of your shops in the upper city are listed under your name. Including the third-floor shops on Central Avenue and the five new shops after the acquisition of Chloe, their value, All of them have increased significantly in value this year.”

"According to conservative estimates by people in the industry, the growth rate of these shops is at least 3000 million or more. Because these shops are all in the quarantine area. Agadi's current housing prices outside the quarantine area have plummeted. In contrast, the housing prices in the quarantine area are also It soared to unimaginable levels."

Hodge closed the notebook with a snap: "By the way, the villa under our feet has actually increased by about 800 million Canadian dollars."

Ah Hao did some calculations in his mind, and immediately grabbed his cheeks with both hands and rubbed them up and down: "It adds up to 800 million. You mean, I worked so hard to make perfume for half a day, and I earned more money than real estate speculators." a little bit?"

"Then why have I been doing this for half a year?!"

"Hehe." Hodge looked very happy for some reason, "You can't say that. Without the perfume at the beginning, how could you get to where you are now?"

"It's just these two things in total. If you don't have any other orders, we can almost go downstairs to have dinner. Bell and Bev, the two girls, have cooked a lot of food when they heard you came back."

"Well, the money always went into my pocket anyway." Ah Hao felt melancholy for a few seconds, then walked downstairs with Hodge in renewed spirit.

The next day, Ah Hao was nestling in the studio, ready to study the dark blood weapon before going out.Then a guest he didn't expect knocked on the door of his mansion before he went out.

"Sandy? When did you come to Agadhi?"

Ah Hao pushed open the door, looking at the president of the Quattro Alchemy Association in front of him, he couldn't help showing a bit of stunned expression.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Sandy's appearance has also undergone some changes.His cheekbones are more prominent, and his whole person looks a lot thinner.The stubble on his chin is also a bit thick, and the whole person looks dusty.

But the light in Sandy's eyes was brighter than when he first saw her.Sandy raised his hand: "Ahao! As for Agadi who just arrived, I followed the address Luke told me and took it directly."

"Please come in." Ahao welcomed Sandy into the door.

Sandy looked up at the houses and admired them again and again.

"Agadi's house style is indeed very different from that of Quattro."

"But these are not the point, let me just say it, I am here to give you a gift today."

Sandy smiled slightly, and took out a large basket of books in a woven bag from his pocket: "These are all treasures picked out from the cracks in Quattro's bricks!"
